identification

(Sorry if it's bad quality, there's algae on the walls. But that's not the main point I want to discuss.) There is this brown ball floating in my fish tank. It's not sitting on the decor; it's floating in the middle of the water. I have no idea what it is. The last time I added anything new to...

Spotted these eggs on my driftwood today. Not trying to breed any fish so I definitely don’t know which species they belong to. In my tank I’ve got: -corydoras -espii / lambchop rasboras -siamese algae eaters -a few ‘pest snails’ If anyone can id them that’d be amazing!

I recently got these fish being told they are silver dollars I have asked around and had so many different answers (pacu, red belly piranha and silver dollar) any idea I can’t put them in my tank if they are pacu or piranha

Does anyone know the name of this fish?

Hi everyone, When I was setting up my tank I saw this floating plant at the LFS and liked how it looked. The guy couldn't tell me what it was. It came with a fake plastic ludwigia that works as an "anchor" for it. I'd like to know what it is, I actually haven't seen it in any of the "big...

Anyone know the more common name for this type of rock? https://www.olibetta.uk/amtra/sand-drawing-rock?sai=10541 The site is Austrian so I'm not sure if something is being lost in translation. It calls them "sand drawing rock", but a Google for that doesn't come up with anything that I can...

Hi! So I've just noticed a snail In my tank. I think it's come in from se new plants I've just put in there. I have zebra snails but I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me which type of snail this is? Is it okay to keep in my tank?

I have these pieces of wood that were used in my spider tank and I’m wondering if it’s safe to use in my aquarium. I have a feeling the one at the front isn’t as it’s very light and feels and possibly porous. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know it will need to be thoroughly cleaned...

At the petstore I work at. We accidentally got this fish with an order! Now we have searched a couple times. But it seems we cant identify it. So please help! See pictures ;)

I’ve noticed two different things growing on the spider wood in my tank. These little black dots and the light colour stringy bits. I do have black sand which I initially assumed the black bits were but they look slightly smaller and darker than the sand. A lot of it is attached all around the...

Hey all, I just set up my first tank since I was a kid, and finally added fish yesterday. The pet store clerk sold me what they said are julii cats, but I’m pretty sure that’s wrong. Can anyone help me identify these guys? Very elusive, but active, likes to hide in cracks and under stuff, swims...
